Emergency GT: Pelicans @ Magic

[Blue_and_Whte]

Dipo is in a slump, it happens. As long as he's defending like he is he's contributing.

[Blue_and_Whte]

It makes perfect sense to me. He was groomed to be the superstar of the team by management. Obviously that did not work and he got benched. He is probably embarrassed by this. He wants to be a Superstar over being a team player that helps the team win.

I do not see him being in Orlando much longer. I don;t think his attitude fits with what we are trying to do.

Calm the **** down and stop making **** up.

I've personally been a bit inactive because the games already stress/depress me a lot so being on here usually doesn't help that considering there's a lot of overreaction, but I'm going to try and work on that and show up to game threads. Trying to remember that it's just a game.

Good win. We won despite Oladipo's efforts to make us lose and despite Payton's bad ankle. Vuc was just awesome on offense, I like how he gets it done in December. His game is so versatile - his passing is becoming elite for the big guy, he has so many moves on attacking end. Tobias is quietly becoming very efficient player - he scores his points without dominating the offense (I'm looking at you, Victor), plays good defense, scraps for ball, looking to be engaged on different fronts; he matured big time. Drew was amazing form the bench and I gotta admit I'm fine with Channing **** Frye game. Mario is gaining confidence and AG overestimates his offense, but they'll be fine.

I share the sentiment about inactivity of this board's members. If we start losing, people come and complain, but while we're playing 60% ball in strong EC nobody seems to give a **** except for a few hard core fanatics. Before anyone points this: I'm not high volume poster myself - never been - but the trend here is obvious. Strange and sad.

We're 18-13, on our way to the play-offs, show some enthusiasm.

I'm ecstatic even though I might be losing a bet with drsd viewtopic.php?t=1400444

I've stopped coming around as much because 1. The ads are horrible and 2. I can't watch the games live due to my work schedule and i like to avoid spoilers if at all possible.

Anyways, great game. Vuc is a beast man. His jumper and post game combined with the newly added ability to drive on guys is making him impossible to guard. He is also providing much improved help D as well. He doesn't got the block #'s but he's altering enough shots to make a difference. If it wasn't clear before it should be crystal clear now that he is by far our best player.

Whatever happen to purpleswordfish?

He's too embarrassed to post here after being demoted from head coach to scout.

I'd just like people to take a break from the same old comments every now and then. Discussion is cool, but it turns into noise when it feels like we hear the same things over and over.

C'mon man, you know you're just as guilty of it as others. Your 3 most common things are:

- we can't beat good teams yet.
- our point differential has slipped.
- our defense is slipping.

As long as the comments are valid, then what's the problem?

If people are annoyed, then speak up! I try to stick to peaceful observations rather than get into flame wars where people feel the need to one-up each other.

I'm just searching for signal among the noise.

A bunch of people on this board need a reality check if they can't distinguish the difference between constructive criticism and "negative comments". Who the hell are you guys, Dwight Howard's illegitimate children? "come on guys, we're winning, can't we all just get a pat on the head and some high fives?".

I hope we win tomorrow. A co-worker of mine finally decided, after 4-5 trips to Orlando (golfer) to buy tickets to see the Magic. I finally swayed him and the Magic better perform or else I'll effin' HEAR about it when he comes home... haven't been this nervous for a game in a LONG time haha ...
